DescriptionYao Shi studied BA Drawing at Camberwell College of Arts. She says:
'These drawings are based on my dream that I had during the lockdown. When I have been trapped in my bedroom nearly 12 months, I recorded my dreams on a sketch book, and made a few sculptures based on the sketches. Then I started to make my animation that is based on the story board of my dream and memory.
When I was shooting the model for my 3D animation I am not satisfied with the image. So, I tried to draw it with sharp pencil on a rough paper. I found that images are dreamier. Then I tried to make more models of the bedroom that is based on the memory of my childhood and put my sculptures with them together. I constantly reflected the relationship with my family and friends during my practice. I found that my memory and feelings has been distorted or filtered after drawing and sculpting by this special moment.'
